Chapter 226 The past cannot be retrieved, but it shines brightly in memory
Chapter 226 The past cannot be retrieved, but it shines brightly in memory
Lu Yidong did not say anything to express her disdain for her brother's "lofty words" as she did before. She bit the lollipop in her mouth in dissatisfaction and said, "Humph, if you study, then I will study too. I will study longer than you."
"You'd better tell the truth. I told you I won't help you with parent-teacher conferences anymore!"
The bedroom door was closed by Lu Yido. Lu Yuanqiu didn't know whether his words reached her ears, but he heard the sound of the TV in the living room being turned off.
Although it doesn't matter if this girl fails to get into university, as a brother I also hope that she can take her youth seriously... Lu Yuanqiu shook his head slightly and said in his heart with a raised eyebrow.
He moved his chair forward and continued to do the questions.
They studied until five in the afternoon. When Lu Yuanqiu went out to drink water, he opened his sister's bedroom and found that the little girl was already lying on the table, drooling and sleeping soundly.
"cough!"
Lu Yuanqiu coughed violently.
Lu Yidong seemed to have returned to his body. He quickly sat up, picked up the pen, and continued studying with his head down.
"Oh, it's all over." Lu Yuanqiu shouldn't have placed his hopes on his sister.
At this time, a notification sound came from his mobile phone. He took it out and saw that it was Qin Luo who sent him a message.
『Senior Qin』: Junior Lu, I have sent your email the template of the newspaper that will be published tomorrow. Would you like to take a look at it first?
Lu Yuanqiu drank the water in the cup, then walked into the bedroom, turned on the computer, and opened his email.
The first thing you see is a big headline.
"The past cannot be retrieved, but it shines brightly in memory - Lucheng No. 7 Middle School New Year's Eve Gala"
Below the title is a photo of Bai Qingxia on the stage, which was also the one carefully selected by Lu Yuanqiu.
School uniform, ponytail, and this pure and flawless profile... Lu Yuanqiu stared at the photo for a long time, and suddenly saw himself next to it.
He couldn't help but laugh. They photoshopped his figure at the edge of the stage a little smaller. The small him was looking at the big Bai Qingxia.
"He's treating me as an Easter egg. His attention is completely attracted by the pure and beautiful female students. If he doesn't pay attention, he won't be able to see me." Lu Yuanqiu muttered.
But... this does have a certain meaning.
Secret love is a chaos for a person.
She is so dazzling that she always fills my vision and sparkles brightly, and the little me always stands in the corner, looking at her in the light with great longing.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but nod in appreciation. The photo was well placed.
The article below the photo briefly describes the background of the photo above, and the meaning can be summarized as follows:
"The girl accidentally lost her dance costume before performing ballet, and suddenly she wanted to put on her school uniform to dance, which caused an unexpected effect on the scene."
The effect can be summarized as follows: "Looking at this school uniform and this innocent face, countless adult audiences thought of the girl who haunted them in the past, and missed their youth. For a while, they looked at the stage and shed tears, feeling that time could never come back."
Lu Yuanqiu scrolled down the mouse, read the article, and couldn't help laughing.
As expected of someone who often writes press releases, this line of thinking makes perfect sense to me.
As he read through it, he found that the entire article was indeed well-written, with words filled with regrets, memories, and youth.
As Lu Yuanqiu watched, the smile on his lips gradually faded, his eyes became serious, and only the sound of the mouse wheel sliding remained.
“Youth is an out-of-print movie that can never be replayed. Now that the movie has ended, I am still savoring it for a long time.”
……
"The bitterness of secret love and the sweat of struggle have all become the footnotes of youth."
……
"We once ran side by side on the road of youth, but now we are going our separate ways. The days when we played crazy together have become the softest corner in our hearts."
……
Lu Yuanqiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly thought of the New Year's Eve scene last night. It was only a dozen hours later, but he already started to miss those friends because of the words in front of him.
Damn, there is something in this manuscript, I am a bit rough. ...
"The train of youth rushed by, and I stood at the platform of time, watching it go away. Although I felt regretful, I was also grateful that this journey had shaped me into who I am today."
Seeing the end of this paragraph, Lu Yuanqiu thought it was the end, but he didn't expect to scroll down and find a few more sentences:
“But I still can’t forget her.”
"The past cannot be brought back."
“She shines brightly in my memory.”
Lu Yuanqiu licked his dry lips, and couldn't help but scroll up to look at Bai Qingxia's photo. Suddenly he was stunned, thinking that his behavior of not being able to help but run back to look at the girl's photo after reading the article, had the author of the article guessed it?
He glanced at the title.
The line of words in the title appeared again at the end, but the words "but in" were changed to "she is".
The title is about youth and the ending is about her.
Lu Yuanqiu took out his cell phone and asked, "Senior Qin, did you write this article?"
『Senior Qin』: The editor-in-chief, he thought my writing was boring to read... [covering face]
No wonder, the first few paragraphs introducing the school uniforms showed that he was a veteran journalist, the only thing missing was the word “shocking”.
If this newspaper gets a lukewarm response when it's published tomorrow, then this world is truly incomprehensible.
"Alas, I am clearly in my youth, why do I start to feel regretful?" Lu Yuanqiu laughed at himself.
Lu Yuanqiu took out his cell phone and wanted to call Bai Qingxia, but after thinking about it, he put the phone down and didn't intend to disturb her studies.
He looked at the photo of Bai Qingxia in the newspaper again and looked at it carefully for a long time, as if he wanted to remember her face once more, before turning off the computer.
...Forget it, don't regret it. The person is right in Guihua Lane. You can see him if you want to. If you want to hear his voice, you can just make a phone call.
Just continue studying. The most important thing now is the mock test.
……
There were many people in the coffee shop.
Lu Yuanqiu, who was 32 years old at the time and dressed in a suit and tie, suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath with a sharp voice.
His chest heaved violently, as if he had been holding his breath for a long time. Then he looked at everything in front of him that was strange yet familiar in horror.
Cafe?
Lu Yuanqiu frowned.
"Yuanqiu, what's wrong with you? You just suddenly lay down without saying a word."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at the mature man sitting in front of him. He was probably in his thirties, with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes and an unshaved beard, but the look he gave him at this moment was full of concern.
"... Gao Qiang?"
Lu Yuanqiu shouted in confusion.
Gao Qiang sneered: "Yeah, you don't recognize me? Oh, right, I didn't finish just now. The person who voted for you back then was actually Bai Qingxia."
Lu Yuanqiu ignored the other party. He stretched out his trembling hands and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Looking at the smart phone in front of him and the date January 2025, 1, Lu Yuanqiu's eyes were red. He began to poke the screen frantically and dialed a number.
"What are you doing?"
"Call Bai Qingxia!"
Lu Yuanqiu's breathing was trembling. After he finished speaking, he quickly put the phone to his ear and waited anxiously.
Gao Qiang was stunned: "Ah? Didn't she...didn't she die 15 years ago?"
Lu Yuanqiu didn't listen until a voice appeared in his ears.
"Hello, the number you dialed is invalid. Please check before redialing..."
